Specialize in the Manufacture of both Stand Alone and PC based Motion Controllers. Application development software for complete machine control is also supplied at no charge. Available from 1-24 axis the MC Series is compatible with Servo, Stepper, Encoders, Absolute Encoders, Relsolvers and Valves. HMi's include: Keypad displays and Touch Screen Panels Can Bus Expansion modules are available in Analog and Digital I/O configurations. Development Software is Free when you purchase an MC Series Controller. Popular Serial Interfaces such as SERCOS, DeviceNet, ProfiBus. Mod Bus, Either net and USB are also available. Well Suited for the OEM with or without in- house programming capability. NEWSFLASH!!!! PC based card is now available - Link to the TRIO Web site for more info.

The PCI 208 is based on a 120Mhz 32-bit floating point DSP supported by 8Mbits of SRAM, 32 Mbits of Flash memory and 128kbits of dual port RAM for PCI communications. A large FPGA on the provides for up to 8 stepper axes, or 8 axes servo with encoder feedback, or mixtures of the two, or stepper axes with encoder verification. For +/-10v input servo drives an optional mezzanine board provides 16 bit resolution voltage outputs and analogue inputs. A DIN rail mounting break-out board eases the wiring interconnections for low-volume applications.

The PCI 208 is designed for motion control applications centered around a PC. Application programs written on the PC can access its facilities easily using an OCX component. It is also possible to run application programs on the PCI 208 in multi-tasking BASIC language or to use both programming techniques. Trio's Motion Perfect development software can be used to monitor the execution of programs, IO and motion. Complex motion such as cams, gears, linked axes, and interpolation is made easy with the comprehensive command set. The PCI206 has 20 opto-isolated digital 24v inputs and 10 opto-isolated outputs. The inputs can be used as high-speed hardware registration inputs for highly accurate control of print and packaging lines.

The I/O count can be expanded using Trio CAN bus digital and analog modules. The PCI208 has 2 built-in CAN channels for I/O and axis control.

Free CAD to Motion Program from Trio

CAD to Motion is a program designed to allow users to
translate CAD generated two dimensional motion paths into TrioBASIC programs.
The program allows the user to create motion paths in a CAD package such as AutoCAD and convert them into code executable by a Trio Motion Coordinator. Typically the path information will be drawn on a single layer in the CAD package and exported as a DXF file. The DXF file (layer with motion path only) is read into CAD to Motion to create a program to follow the motion path.

The motion path can be manipulated and edited before being saved as a TrioBASIC program file which can be loaded on to a Trio Motion Coordinator.

Features
» Can read Industry standard DXF files and TrioBASIC files.
» Outputs files as TrioBASIC programs.
» Graphical display of motion path with full pan and zoom facilities.
» Built in program text editor.
» Program list and graphical display linked together to show correlation between program code and moves within the motion path.
» Built in tools to mirror, scale, shift, reverse and rotate motion paths.
» Full undo on all tool and editor operations.
» Will handle multiple motion paths (sequences) in the same program.
